2008 Paris Auto Show: Mitsubishi Presents Lancer and Colt

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback

This year at the Paris Auto Show Mitsubishi decided to present sport vehicles: Lancer Sportback and Colt Ralliant.

Since hatchbacks are most popular in Europe the Japanese car manufacturer made a good choice by developing Sportback specifically for this market.

Mitsubishi offers a choice of engines: Lancer can run with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with 141 horsepower and 2.0-liter diesel with 138 hp. The hatchback will also have a variety of transmissions: five- and six-speed manual, four-speed automatic or six-speed continuously variable gearbox.

As a sports car Lancer received good springs and shocks, strong brakes, returned chassis with thick stabilizer bars and 215/45R18 tires.

Colt concept has already been at the market before, but this time it is improved and the manufacturer offers it in three- and four-door variants. The new sedan has 1.5-liter engine, which provides 148 horsepower.
